INTRODUCTORY 

In  issuing  this  index,  a  word  concerning  its  origin  and  scope 
seems  necessary.  For  many  years  the  need  of  a  convenient  guide 
to  stories  for  the  use  of  the  teacher  has  been  felt.  It  is  a  difficult 
matter  to  put  into  the  hands  of  either  a  child  or  a  teacher,  on  a 
moment's  notice,  a  five  or  ten  minute  story  on  the  beaver,  the 
moon,  truth,  truancy,  or  any  other  of  the  hundred  and  one  subjects 
sometimes  called  for  within  a  week.  Especially  in  connection  with 
the  kindergarten  and  primary  work  has  this  been  felt.  As  a  re- 
sult the  stories  in  over  a  hundred  books  have  been  read  and 
entered  under  such  subject  headings  as  seemed  likely  to  prove 
useful. 

No  attempt  has  been  made  to  discriminate  between  books 
having  literary  value  and  those  lacking  it.  All  stories  that  seemed 
capable  of  adaptation  for  oral  work  have  been  included  in  all  cases 
where  we  have  deemed  the  thought  in  them  worthy  of  considera- 
tion. Story-telling  rather  than  story-reading  has  been  the  upper- 
most thought.  From  some  books  we  have  picked  but  a  single 
story  of  all  those  given,  and  that  because  of  its  central  thought. 

No  attempt  has  been  made  to  present  an  exhaustive  index. 
All  country  headings  have  been  omitted,  and  all  personal  head- 
ings excepting  Lincoln  and  Washington. 

Our  rule  has  been  to  enter  a  story  under  the  specific  heading 
when  a  choice  was  necessary,  except  in  cases  where  we  thought 
the  general  heading  would  be  more  likely  to  be  consulted.  In 
many  cases  a  story  has  been  indexed  under  various  headings.  An 
attempt  has  been  made  to  group  such  stories  as  are  based  on  the 
same  legend,  or  folk-tale ;  but  owing  to  the  fact  that  such  a  va- 
riety of  titles  are  applied  to  the  same  story  by  different  editors  or 


4  INTBODUCTORY 

compilers,  and  to  the  fact  that  the  two  editors  of  this  index  have 
worked  on  entirely  different  groups  of  books,  in  all  probability 
many  stories  will  be  found  having  the  same  basis,  and  yet  indexed 
under  different  headings. 

The  paging  given  refers  to  the  particular  edition  of  the  book 
listed  in  the  appendix. 

No  effort  has  been  made  to  trace  any  story  to  its  original 
source.  The  editor  or  compiler  of  the  book  has  been  treated  as 
the  editor-author,  the  object  of  the  index  being  merely  to  bring 
together  the  teacher  and  the  story  with  the  least  possible  expendi- 
ture of  time  and  effort. 

We  wish  to  acknowledge  the  courtesy  of  A.  C.  McClurg  & 
Company  and  the  Milton  Bradley  Company  in  furnishing  us  with 
a  number  of  valuable  books  for  use  in  our  work.
